The multiple phased-mission system (MPMS) exists widely in practical engineering, such as aviation, spaceflight and navigation fields. Its distinct characteristic is that the system usually performs multiple missions and each mission consists of different phases. In this paper, we mainly focus on the reliability analysis for MPMS when the components have to accomplish different missions successively. A new modeling method is proposed for MPMS analysis based on the binary decision diagram (BDD) and multi-state multi-valued decision diagram (MMDD). Through this method, different phases of missions are combined with in the whole system by certain merging rules according to the operating time of a common component. Then, the system reliability can be calculated by the common calculation methods of decision diagrams by generating the through. Finally, two case studies are implemented to demonstrate the generation of BDD/MMDD models and the evaluation of system reliability. The experiment results verified the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed modeling methods.
